Honestly i have never seen a golf r. I was the only one in my area with a mk7 golf.
yeee
U need to get some track lessons to get the most out of this
Kinda had a feeling it was a loutus but an esprit, that exige is truly unique.
I used to work at the factory where this was made, possibly even worked on this very car, & still live local. Let me know if you need anything picking up/posting/info.
Norfolk! High 6!
Hope MCM spot this!
Must have been pretty cool to work on these cars
If your from Norfolk, do you know Alan Partridge? I was just listening to his deep bath last night..
This comment needs to be pinned. I think maintaining a Lotus is a lot harder than in the UK/EU.
@@RalphShackell hey buddy!
this may be the most fitting supercar mighty car mods could buy its a mid engined yaris hilton
Agreed
You shouldn't be watching mcm get back to building that mgbgt lol
Love your content man!
..... Without the reliability
@@ianrushsmoustache2282 lol leave my mans alone cuh. He needs a breather isyaheard
I feel like Lotus's design philosophy is "what if motorbike, but not fall over?"
Can-am seems more likely but it’s not far off lol
Well, the official motto of lotus is "Light is Right", but I kinda like yours better ! ^^
Supposedly the designer was told to "make it like a Ducati"
Love it guys. Best sports car I’ve ever driven. you’ll need the shiftr111 to make that shifter feel buttery ! Purest of purity pure m9
Nice name mate ;)
Mr Steele still driving the wrx?
Love your Exige videos. Watched all of them.
@@jac6255 no, he is driving a lotus a tesla and a new mx5
Hi Guys, Great to see you in a Lotus. I own a collection of Five lotus and including a race car and arguably one of the most wild lotus in Australia. I may have some a solution for you dash issue or a possible second hand replacement part. For any technical advise, parts etc please feel free to reach out.
Give me one
👆🏻😂
@@themerchant2579 that's what she said
@@CarsRubberDucks who? I need to know who not just she. Is it your mother, your sister ? Your aunty? Grandma ? Your wife ? I think maybe your daughter.
@@themerchant2579 I thought you be more into my brother or dad or maybe my nieghbour John
No! Stop it! Shhh!
I’m in the market for one of these and don’t need you drawing millions of eyes to how great they are. They’re hard enough to find already!
Cmon dude wide you say something
Same I’ve been drooling over these and awaiting the right time... damn it
Exactly what My son said who’s been looking at these and saving for one for ever. (Clue his dad us K20a powered 720kg Elise)
same
Clubsport elise, early ones cheap now;-)
A bunch of years back I was lucky enough to get a ride along in one of these in the States. For the longest time I didn't really get the appeal of these tiny cars with what I thought was not enough power. After a 25 min ride down the highway, I fully understood the appeal. You've got yourself a legit track beast my friend. With some proper sticky tires, it should handle like it's on rails all day long.
"If you can't beat 'em, modify your car and if that doesn't work, join them" Truer words have never been spoken lol
Got to admit it’s really cool seeing you guys getting an Exige. I work for a lotus specialist over in England and we’ve just built our Exige race car and is currently being tuned on a custom ecu aiming for at least 300bhp. If you need any parts and can’t source them try us @ south west lotus centre
Wowee that’s in Devon right? I’m in the south coast of Devon ahaha small world
This!!
Make it happen!
@@shxtbox yes mate in lifton! Small world indeed
That might have been me that passed you on the track! 😂
Upgrade the supercharger with one from SSC in Artarmon and use a charge cooled method. The intercooler/radiator will sit in the front and get overall better cooling and performance too. It’ll blow your mind with how fast it will be.
I did this with my Lotus Exige and got 290WHP+ / 218rwkw+ (conservative tune) out of it and I may have been that car at SMSP that overtook all the other supercars and Lotuses 😂
I know modding these cars pretty well so message me if you’re looking for more info :)
Love the community attitude there bud. The world needs more people who think like you do. Also that Lotus of yours must be an absolute ripper!!!!
@@youcanbesmartaskhow3857 thank you! The Lotus community is a great one and everyone is just so passionate. I finally uploaded a video of it on my UA-cam if anyone is interested :)
ua-cam.com/video/Go2-OnRKX24/v-deo.html
I’d argue that this car is all about one thing, but it isn’t speed, it’s grip. One of the best backroad and track cars out there.
imo supercars are excellent at 3 major areas - power, weight, handling. The Lotus is excellent at 2 of the 3.
Ya, with a top speed of around 150 mph I wouldn't consider it "super car" fast. There are tons of cars that can do 150. However they won't handle that well.
They won't generate downforce along the whole car either. That is quite rare in a "road car", most sporty cars only give you some at the front.
I'm from Norfolk, UK. It's a county not a town BTW.
Also my dad worked at Lotus from the 70's through to about 15 years ago. Have been round the test track in Elans, Esprit and Elise. He also owned an old turbo Elan for a bit. Great cars but need so much looking after. But that just makes you love them even more IMO.
"Now I'm a real youtuber" definitely made me chuckle
Even more so if he'd said, "I just bought the cheapest Lotus Exige S in the country..."
It definitely passes the supercar checklist ✅
19 seconds ago damn
Ehhh... the pedant in me says no.
Oh hey there! Wonder if this was Yuri or Jakub....
Dude even straightpipes watches mcm
Canadian, Australian collab guys?
This is definitely the perfect supercar for you guys. Being the same engine platform as a Corolla (I've admittedly always thought it was the camry) means you can modify the piss out of it without getting in over your head.
I'm not a 100% sure about this, but I believe they were the first to completely glue the car together instead of welding because of the weight saving.
“This is a car that was built by blokes”
-James May
They bought the right car.
i read that in James May's Voice
@@Shiruba.60 When the episode started I thought they'd bought a Caterham 7, which would be more mods than actual car by the time it got to the track, lol
"in a shed"
"That's a solid yeahhhhnahhhhyeahhh?"
Initially I wasn't a fan of the Aussie "yeah nah" but this is the perfect use for it and justifies everything.
Australia stole "yeah nah" from New Zealand (just like everything else)
Also, once you master the the "yeah nah", you should give the "nah yeah" a try. It's advanced level stuff, so use it carefully
I'll forever wish for you two to do a motorbike challenge one day!
i think they already did
The motocompo watch it
HeroRR!
Yeah, them two would be so funny doing a "Ewan and Charlie"'long way round' types of trips, or a fan car trip!
They already did if you count the motocompo.
MCM: "I Bought a SUPERCAR!"
Me: Feck, whyyy.
MCM: "JK It's an Exige S ya kahnt"
Me: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Radio, AC and a cup holder. Someone went crazy on the options list on this one!
Haha indeed. and don't forget the electric windows. If not mistaken these where a option on the Exige. SO full on luxury pack :D
The AC was 1500 quid as an option. Cup holder another 200. Radio actually stock.
I just maid a vid today about how my car has no cup holders stupid ae86 Check my channel boys and drop a like and sub !!!!!
As a Norfolk dweller, lotus factory is literally in the middle of nowhere 🤣 but pretty neat that your home county is mentioned on your fave show 👌😉
Hae yew got a loit bor? ;)
@@nickcarophotography that is the last thing i expected to see in an MCM comment section 😂
I've just been scanning the comments looking for Norfolk folk haha
@@nickcarophotography bet that exige would rip the NDR
I'm from Norfolk too, have been in the Lotus factory, and on the track. Now I'm living in Australia.
It's a pity what Lotus as a brand had to go thru or still going thru. Passed on to multiple ownerships and somewhat lost in between. But the handling and the craftsmanship they offered in these models are crazy brilliant. Great to see this
Since childhood I've always loved how Lotus' looked. I'm very, very happy that you guys bought this car, please give us loads of content on it! I want to see everything you guys do to/with it and you HAVE TOOOO show us your track experience with it! Super excited!
11:42 "That's a solid Yeeeah-naah-yeah!?" Classic Aussie.
Had me thinking of good old Nolzie, not that all ozzies are like Lez and the boys but that fucking yeah nah yeah
“Basic radio, airconditioning and a cup holder”
Are you sure you didn’t buy a 70 series Landcruiser
Man i wish they did! How dope would it be if MCM got into 4wds...
Your 70 series has cup holders?
1t's the British definition of supercar. No extravaganza. Exactly enough Engineering to chop your 1/2 mil plutonium nonsense.
.
and still turn up for tea and crumpets in style, with BBC radio cranked up to 11 xx #Pear anyone? :D
though i have to admit, I'm rather disappointed by the aircon. Equally elated the cup-holder falls off so easily ;)
haha cup holder if you're lucky
Pear Computers I like my dinner in the wilderness
Oh wow😮!! Nice choice of car you made there! It's not that they are really rare, but.. you don't see them that often indeed👌😎! Wonder what you guy are gonna "change" after you fixed the instrument cluster, I'm pretty sure you wanna make it your own @Mightycarmods😎👌
The sound in the tunnel.... LITERAL HAIRSTANDING GOOSEBUMPS!!!❤❤❤
Your camera guy’s slight movements and the ultra great camera quality gives me the feel I’m actually there.
Yes, the depth of field and parallax effect cameramate used was spot on !
Agree, this filming was epic
The production quality has really made leaps and bounds over the years.
Lot of low-budget films don't have such good video as this channel now.
And the music highlights are absolutely exemplary.
I named my eldest daughter Elise. My wife loves her name but hates the reason I picked it. I totally approve of this addition to the MCM lineup!
Edit: Evora, Exige, and Elan didn't make the cut for the youngest
Best comment ever
Same with my 15 year old daughter elise name for that same reason
I named my daughter 550 Maranello. My wife still doesn't know to this day where the names from
@@anonymic79 The trick is getting nearly full commitment to the name, not birth certificate level but all the friends and family informed then drop the bomb as to why it was picked. Ball is in their court at that point.
Lmfao Chris your my hero
Check my channel if u get time to drop a sub and like trying to get 1000 subs ae86 content
I’ll name my daughter Silva or maybe 13b lmfao
Phew, I am so happy that there is work that needs to be done to it. Hope to see some modifications in the near future.
I feel like 2 or 3 screws are lighter than velcro, kinda weird they did velcro. I suppose you could make it even lighter very easy with velcro.
Nice purchase m8, you'll have loads of fun especially at the track in tight or high speed corners. The thing handles like a dream, you can really just chuck it in there not much drama or fuss... What kinda boots were you wearing in this episode? They look like some pretty capable work boots for the site, but still kinda stylish enough for everyday use. Cheers!
daaaaaamn boys, nice scoop! luls at the entire dash cluster being broken, now that is more like the mcm that we all know and love!
Jason "Discount Adam Sandler" Cammisa fixed his buy replacing it with a screen from Lotus, just plug and play
@@kiko865 i literally just started learning the hangul alphabet so seeing your name and being to say it without needing the romanization made me proud of myself (;
That's hilarious, I used to be subbed to your channel when I smoked. No clue you were into cars
Funny seeing you on a mcm video, I used to watch your channel religiously. Hope life is treating you well
@@TRAININGFLAME grew up with that addiction to fast/fun cars! had a 83 5.0 mustang(that i did a lot of work to, turned it into a 5.4L eventually) for a bit as well as a 87 turbocoupe. i loved me that fox body chassis platform! cheers my dude
As a UK viewer, I can't explain how excited I was when I saw a black Exige 🤯🤯🤯🤤🤤🤤
EDIT: whilst these are loved and massively rated in the UK, they aren't classed as a supercar over here. They just give you supercar performance.. particularly the handling! 😎
As a UK resident too, and having done some film work with supercars, The Exige is actually accepted by many supercar clubs, which means technically it is a supercar.
Also a UK viewer, id agree with you if it was an Elise but the Exige is probably more supercar territory loads more power and especially when a used one is nearly 60k.
If an Exige doesn't make it into supercar territory for you, then I don't know what to say.
@@GoWstingray agree.
Elise, sports car.
Exige, supercar. It's more rounded up to supercar than firmly in it, but definitely not a sports car on the sports car > supercar > hypercar scale.
Definitely a super car not on the top end front but try keeping up with a tuned and sorted one round a track and that will confirm you bought the wrong car 👍
When they don’t take the car for kabobs you know it isn’t sticking around long😂😂
"ITS A CHODE"
Wow, didn't see that one coming!
That dude who posted Moog was going to get a Lotus on the "sold the VW" video was 100% right. Moog WAS pointing out those Lotuses a heck of a lot at the track.
That was me wohoo
@@107andyb First thought I had when I saw the bumper. “Where’s the dude that called it!?”
Yep, first thing I thought of 🤣 good call
Yep.
@@-Cesh- it was that or tvr but I couldn't see them with a tvr. Plus moog said will tear anything on a track so that sold it definitely a lotus
next episode "We are k24 swapping our lotus!" hahaha all jokes aside this is maaaaaad
Good choice, by the way it's also very rare in England to see a Lotus. I remember when the Exige came out, Lotus had a stand at my local car show and I was drooling over it for ages.
"Now I'm a real youtuber" - Moog
I love the roasts moog's been saying 😂😂
1:11 I hope it's an Ariel Atom, that's one of my dream cars
1:42 OH MY LORD. Yeah, Nah, Yeah....That's better.
It’s sort of an Atom with fenders.
FOR REAL!!!
ariel atoms are not road legal in australia, after many years of trying, there is a couple of them here that are used as track day weapons
Sexy atom
Yeah, I thought ariel atom. This is so much better
I live within like 30 minutes of Hethel (where Lotus are based), my first Norwich City football kit I got when I was a kid had a Lotus sponsor on it, my friend's dad used to have a Lotus. About 4 years ago me and a good friend (sadly no longer with us due to cancer) went to the Lotus factory, parked down the road and snuck through some bushes so we could see cars on their test track. Also they just make incredible driver's cars. There's a bunch of reasons why Lotus is close to my heart, I need to own one some day.
Been watching for years and years. My heart feels so happy for y’all and this channel!
Hey guys, remember working in Marty’s mum’s driveway? I’ve not been the most loyal viewer over the years (thanks to lack of free time, not interest) but I still can’t tell you how happy this makes me!
4/6 would recommend ;)
There's a certain nostalgic feeling to working on cars in your mums driveway
I can just see Marty scanning the entire internet in his mind on what he can get to beat Moog 😂
As a Subaru fan, he's sticking to boxer and getting a porsche.
Yesss. hopefully he gets a TVR - whacky British racecar
Martin needs a ariel atom
TVR might be it. I'm thinking RX-7
@@LoveFZ a porch would do but I think a BMW would also be a good choice.
I daily drive a 2001 Integra Type R, gutted interior, track spec coilovers, bucket seats, te37's and street slicks and the lotus exige has been my dream car since forever and I am very happy that you got one and will put it to good use. Congrats!
The guys have stepped up - great choice, you cannot beat a Lotus. Plus, for the last 20 years or so they have been reliable. I drive my Elise every day to work (and back) :)
The Beeping "Noise" you heard was the key still in the ignition, with the door open.... (standard toyota 1zz/2zz ECU 'feature' )
2zz MR-S. Can confirm
It doesn't have a Toyota ecu. It has a Lotus unit.
@@nickmitchell2547 Doesn't mean it wasn't carried over.
@@nickmitchell2547 no manufacturer makes their own ecu, it’s usually Bosch or Siemens, etc.
Having lived 10 minutes from the lotus factory in the UK and worked on them over the years,
its amazing to see that they are being loved my the Mcm guys! Even if they are 12000 miles away!
And us Norfolkians forgive the MCM guys for calling the whole county a "holiday town" lol 🤣
@@trippydrew8492 I've never considered going home as a "holiday" ... ever
This is EPIC! This makes me want one of these! And it sounds so good, a 4-cylinder!!! What an epic car, good job gentlemen!
What a car! No ones ever going to dry hump a golf. The drama of getting in and out, it’s all part of the insanity that’s fun. In all honesty, if you had quite slow mode “sensible” button in your car. What boring person presses that. Life is only once, it should be mad and exciting.🥳
You say that but like half the UK car scene is obsessed with boring modern VAG cars these days, reckon they'd go balls deep in a DSG polo if they could
I don’t get the vag thing. I reckon it’s a no thought fashion thing. If they put a turd on the head of a mannequin in top shop, the same folks would be driving their vag with a turd on their head 😂
the whole damn BUCKET
Birdy?
The whole family bucket from KFC
Bird ayeee!
Birdyyyy
And a side of mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits!!!!
"One of the rarest cars on the globe", Well... except if you're visiting the Nürburgring Nordschleife ;)
At least in Australia
or ya live in norfolk they everywhere
They are indeed everywhere over there. Overtaking me and my mx5 left and right. (Figuratively speaking of course, only on the left, lol)
Rare doesn't exist at the Nurburgring 😂
Nice seeing you on here as well!
So so SO cool! I love Lotuses. There’s actually a guy in my small town in the middle of nowhere that owns an orange Elise that has a modified exhaust that sounds like a Civic. It’s a shame but still cool to see it cruising around all the time.
I saw one of these today. Mostly here in England they're driven by 50/60 year olds that can barely get in and out of them! Respect for getting one and hopefully using it properly.
LOTUS : Lots Of Troubles Usually Serious.
Just kidding, love the Exige ...
Toyota reliability under the hood + lotus handling makes for a damn good car
i hope that's not an actual acronym to lotus cars.. basically everything except the transmission is aftermarket, they're actually super reliable
@@since4everrr lol it was a few years ago they’re extremely unreliable stock
@@hassanzamir6863 idk about that
Damn, this person beat me to it lol
If selling a golf R gets you this, that’s a definite trade up.
The Golf did have a shitton of expensive upgrades on it though...
@@gillhantson5318 im curious what the golf R sold for honestly. It was a sweet car and definitely a hardcore sleeper. But the exige is a different monster entirely. Those cars are insanely expensive, limited in their production and quite hard to find. Not a single one you can find online can be had Used for less than 50 grand. Also, the exige is a total gold digger magnet. ;)
@@inferninx Definitely 30-35 grand I’d reckon. Oh yeah, you got all that right about the Exige, such a cool little car.
@@gillhantson5318 Try 60 grand. They would have bought it for 30-35k, then easily put 30k worth of upgrades on it.
@@absorbamatron Yeah def if thats in AUD, I was thinking in Euros.... your definitely right
So stoked that you guys got one of these. Many years ago I got to drive some laps in a s1 exige it was epic!
Wow sweet! Finally expanding! Gonna start watching you guys again
Congratulations from an Ex-Elise owner! You will have a lot of fun in that car! I always wanted to have an Exige but it was too expensive at that time. Can`t wait for more content! That`s a great surprise!
When he said the “Og’s knooowwww....” I realized how fast years went by. Glad you guys are still around. #sincedayone
Wow stepped up...
I have a Gen 7 Celica which has the same engine 2zz-GE . Mine doesn't have the Supercharger that comes on the Lotus,
Watch out for 6200Rpm when the Valves kicks up...
Engines a 8400rpm screamer and sounds a little like a Yamaha Bike at top end...
The Valve lift is locked out until the engine oil temp reaches about 60 degrees C, so no "extra go" until it warms up fully, if you were wondering whats going on , when the engines cold.
I've had mine (Celica with the same engine) for 10 years... very trouble free...
You sir have bought one of my favorite cars of all time I know you're going to have a lot of fun with Fantastic Lotus exige Can't wait to see it in the track!!
The INSTANT I saw the front end "NO F*****G WAY!!!!"

I LOVE THESE

I thought it was a GT3 tbh! I guess you think Porsche when you never see lotuses

Bravo!!! Absolutely epic!
No peel corp on this vid i guess

Nice car, I got an Lotus Elise S1 ... 120PS 740kg, no AC, no power steering, no cupholder... just pure driving pleasure. Have a lot of fun with your new car!
Humble, modest, Honesty! Best ever at doing Car shop shows. Great Choice with the Lotus!
Definitely checks the "extreme" and "barely daily driver" check boxes that makes me qualify it as a supercar.
"MAXIMUM PURITY" achievement unlocked 🏆
Ok Ive been a bit behind as of late but have been a avid watcher for years now. This is literally my all time dream car. Has literally always since I can remember been my favorite. I cannot believe you went that route. I'm sooooo excited!!!!! Can't wait to follow this!

Norfolk: "a holiday town"... that's a depressing thought.
as someone from norfolk its far from a bloody holiday town ahaha

Norfolk is an incestuous town where most of the residents have at least 6 fingers on each hand.

I used to be a courier and had to deliver to the Lotus F1 factory one day, there was just 1 guy in the whole place and so he gave me a personal tour of the whole factory! I was like a kid in a sweet shop!
Epic! One of my favorite cars. Congrats bro
no way its RCT&T. Love your videos.
@@ZeD69420 Much appreciated bro!
Last time i was this early, Moog didnt have grey in his beard............
Gotta love these cars, 'Add lightness'
Gorgeous! Can't wait to see the rest of the series
I'm from Norfolk in England. Norfolk is a county, and the factory is in a town called Hethel. I used to work as a mechanic for a lotus race team too!
My "achievable" dream car is an S2 Elise 111R. This Exige S240 is one of those with everything turned up to 11. Absolutely fantastic purchase! I am envious of the purity.
nono, the exige s240 is turned up to 10. hennessey venom gt is 11 (or above).
Absolutely! Want a lotus so badly! I once got to drive one and it was bonkers. So light and pure
The Venom chucks out the handling for straight line. I would take a charge cooled 2zz everyday.
Yeah I'm not even remotely interested in the Venom GT.
I'd love a big V8 too, but please keep it away from my Lotus. 😂
The look on Marty’s face when he hears, “This is basically just an MR2 that costs a lot more money.” 🤨 Like he can taste the memory.
I mean he's sort of right, but really not like they are so completely different. i get it, but really the similarities end with mid-engined
Nice. I just watched your first BM vid and now this. I'm English with an mgtf, a poor man's lotus, a por mans Ferrari. Looking forward to future vids
owned one for a little with a buddy of mine. Keep an eye on the dipstick if you ever end up tuning the car and make crazy power... had my dipstick fly off on track plenty of times. Never crash it cause you need to replace the entire clamshell.. lastly screw the 2zz in the car and k swap it ;)
Congrats!!! Now Marty need to buy an Alfa Romeo 4C!!! Unfortunately there's no manual versions of the 4C 🤔🙄 but it's a mid engine, 1.75L turbo and 235HP!!!
They get a lot of hate, but I love them. They are very quick. The engine is reliable, and moderately comfy.
I love you who ever you are reading this. Be well, be kind,
😂
@@michaelczesnozki1671 i have never seen one hate it no one can hate it its to beautiful
I am bummed by the motor, wish it was the 2.0 or the 2.9
i love how no matter how many production value changes have been made to the show, the intro still seems like an early 2000s saturday afternoon fishing show. And I meant that in a good way.
It’s 80s themed
Great fun cars, I had an Elise R 200hp, 850 kgs, and it was great, fast, reliable, simple to work on. Mine had the Lotus "Stage Two" exhaust and a Piper air filter, great sounding with no droning.
Fun fact for the Aussies - Lotus designed the suspension for GM's Lotus Carlton, which evolved to the IRS on the VX-VZ Commodore.
All hail “The Chodus”
Chodus ftw
yes!
When I saw the title I was 100% sure it was either a Lotus or an old NSX
Yeah not gonna lie I thought that to but right before the reveal I was like mmm maybe r35, and how wrong I was 😂
I was betting NSX or r33, but gosh darn is this gonna be a fun one
Man. I hope Marty buys an NSX!
I was thinking exactly the same thing. I doubt that the honest review of this car will be anything but glowing.
I was expecting an nsx as well. Lol
I love these cars! I’m so excited to see what you guys do with it!!
Congratulations awesome buy!!
I actually love it! Does this mean Moog has got a job in IT?
@@sillyskys8334 what is it about IT guys loving lotus exiges? i'm an IT and that's my favorite car.
@@OtakuSanel I also am in IT, and the want for an Elise / Exige is strong
So, I am IT and last year I bought Elise S1. 😀
Admittedly an IT guy here but having to “make do” with a megane sport. I’ve got stuff to carry around!
I will say I’m jealous, always wanted one of these but am on more of an MR2 budget.
My car makes 260hp and does 0-60 in 5.5s an Elise pretty much matches this with only 120hp 🤯 time to get the angle grinder out! Only 500kg to lose before I have a lotus 🙃
I just got a new monitor for my computer, and noticed the last two videos have been unnaturally stunning in production quality. If you got new cameras, NICE. Its great to see you guys always improving, I cant wait to see what comes from this new chapter of MCM!
Wow, 4 out of 6 got me. That's going to hold its value nicely, particularly with the upgraded dash. You'll be able to flip it for a fair bit one day hopefully, even after having a couple of years fun in it.
Good job mates! I'd have carried on watching you build nuggets forever, but it's good to see you snap up a really good deal on something that'll be such a good track car. Next up Marty's Ford GT lol.
As a viewer from england it is amazing to see a lotus on this channel! Keep it up guys
Now I wanna see Marty roll in a Alfa Romeo 4C really badly
I agree, i love alfa's but they should have made the 4c a manual instead of an automatic

When you said "No back seat" in the last episode I immediately thought Elise/Exige, or maybe NSX.
2ZZ with a tuned exhaust = drone. The Mrs Celica (ZZT231) does the drone too at certain rpm ranges. She just turns the stereo up louder.
Incredibly happy for you guys. Fortunate to have had the experience of driving and autocrossing one of these back in the day and it immediately converted me to RWD. Traded my WRX for an S2000 and never looked back. That being said, can't wait to have one of these in the garage.
What do you like about RWD compared to AWD?
